blinking an led using timer interrupt (atmega 128) - c

I'm trying to blink an led without using the delay function.
I came across using the timer interrupt and I tried it, and it compiles fine. But the output is fixed on PORTA = 0x01; so, I believe the ISR function is not working. Is there anything I am missing in the code? Thanks.
#include <asf.h>
#include <avr/interrupt.h>
volatile unsigned int count=0;
volatile unsigned int tTime=0;
void port_init(void) {
PORTA = 0xff;
}
ISR(TIMER0_OVF_vect)
{
TCNT0 = 206;
count++;
if (count < 625) {
PORTA=0x01;
}
else if ((count > 625) && (count < 1250)) {
PORTA=0x00;
}
else {
count=0;
}
}
int main (void)
{
board_init();
port_init();
TCCR0 = 0x06; //setting dispensing ratio
TCNT0 = 206; //initial value of register
TIMSK = 0x01; //enabling interrupt
SREG=0x80;
DDRA=0xff;
while(1){
}
}

You have a logic error in your ISR() function. Once count hits 625 the first two if/else-if clauses will be false (because 625 is neither less than, nor greater than, 625), thus the final else clause will execute and reset count to zero. The result of this is that the else-if clause that sets PORTA=0x00 will never execute.
To fix, change the first if from < to <=, like so:
if (count <= 625) {

How to make switching frequency for two lines of ports different?

It is necessary that the switching frequency of one output be twice as large as the second, and not the same.
I don't understand how I can set it up.
Here is my code and received signals.
#include "RTE_Components.h"
#include CMSIS_device_header
void delay(volatile uint32_t count)
{
while(count--)
{
__nop();
}
}

delay(1560);
*(uint32_t*)(0x40010814) = 0x00000800;//GPIOA->BRR = GPIO_BRR_BR11
delay(6000);
GPIOB->BRR = GPIO_BRR_BR13;
delay(1560);
}
}

You need a counter in your endless loop which is increased on every execution of the loop.
You than need to toggle the first output every time the loop is executed.
Than the second output needs to be toggled every second time. That is every time the counter % 2 == 0.
int cnt = 0;
for(;;)
{
output1 ^= 1;
if (cnt % 2 == 0)
output2 ^= 1;
delay(sometime);
cnt++;
}

Unable to produce 1s delay using timer module

I am trying to generate a 1 second delay, using a timer module.
The value in the timer register is 61 DEC, which will generate an interrupt every ~50ms, which will increment the value of a variable named value.
After 20 interrupts ~1 sec will have passed, which will alter the state of an LED. But this doesn't seem to work as intended. The oscillator frequency is 4MHz, the prescaler value of the timer module is 256 and the targeted microcontroller is PIC16F72.
Here is the code:
char value;
bit state;
void Interrupt(){
if(TMR0IF_bit){
value++;
TMR0 = 61;
TMR0IF_bit = 0;
}
}
void main(){
value = 0;
state = 0;
TRISB.RB0 = 0;
OPTION_REG = 0x87;
TMR0 = 61;
INTCON = 0xA0;
while(1){
if(value == 20){
value=0;
state=~state;
PORTB.RB0=state;
}
}
}
The declaration of the ISR is wrong
Switch:
void Interrupt(){
to:
void interrupt(){
And don't forget the volatile
volatile char value;

MPLAB XC8 Compiler PIC18F452 Multiplexed Seven Segment Display Code working properly

I am currently working on a code involving the MPLAB XC8 Compiler, PIC18F452 with a Multiplexed Seven Segment Display. I want to use two pushbuttons connected to pins RB2 and RB3 of PORTB of the PIC18F452 to increment and decrement a variable "count" and display this number from 0 to 99 on this display. Schematic and code is show below.
This code relatively functions as it is, and I do not believe the schematic is to blame for the issues I am seeing, nor is the byte array not correct as I am able to see each number when using the array with a 1 segment display.
The issue arrises when trying to use this multiplexing scheme shown in the below figure. I can successfully display two numbers on the seven segment displays, but there are strange anomalies present when executing this code. For one, I seem to not be able to display the number 1, 4 and occasionally 7 on either display, but when this digit does not show the display is blank, and when the button is again pushed the next number is shown as expected.
for example:
The display shows the numbers as follows for number sequences:
9... 10... 11... 12 13... 14... ect...
or
34.... 35... 36... 37....
Not sure where the issues lies, and debugging is not going well... any help would be appreciated.

In sendPattern() you write a rotated bit pattern to PORTB.
This interferes with the setting the common anode control. So you see both digits only, if both right hand segments are turned on. According your schematic you should write a 0 to turn on the common anode. Try this:
void main()
{
static const unsigned char segArray[]=
{ 0b11000000, 0b11111001, 0b00100100, 0b00110000, 0b00011001,

};
TRISC = 0; //PortC all OUTPUT
PORTC = 0xFF; //PortC all HIGH = IDLE = LED_OFF
TRISBbits.TRISB0 = 0; //Output unused
TRISBbits.TRISB1 = 0; //Output Digit1
TRISBbits.TRISB2 = 0; //Output Digit2

{
++count;

}
if (Switch2 && count > 0)
{
--count;
delay_ms(100);
}
//Write high digit
PORTC = segArray[count/10];
Digit2 = 0;
delay_ms(10); // Delay for 10 ms
Digit2 = 1;
//Write low digit
PORTC = segArray[count%10];
Digit1 = 0;
delay_ms(10); // Delay for 10 ms
Digit1 = 1;
}

AVR programming, displaying wrong value on 7 seg. LED

I am interfacing LM35 with Atmega8. To display digits I use 7 segment LED anode display that I connect to AVR both ends (it handles it without transistors so why not). Strange thing happens:
res value after assigning it from adc is 237 (23.7 degrees). I want to print on my display the first digit (2).
If I leave last line in the while commented out, the display first shows digit 2 correctly but after the first delay it shows 1 instead of 2. Otherwise I get correctly digit 2. Why is this happening?

The problem was induction.
My circuit had many wires in non-soldering-field. When the display was on, there was a lot of induction going on changing resulting voltage on ADC input/LM35 output.
There is more than one solution.
1) Software: I moved ADC conversion into the interruption function. It turns of the displays, converts value from lm35 and displays digit on proper display. It happens so fast that the eye cant perceive it.
I prefer this one for now, because it makes my circuit simpler.
2) Hardware: adding L/C or R/C filter to adc pin should resolve the issue.

is it possible compare a 16-bit value with a 8-bit compare match ISR

I am trying to make a servo controller that have a higher resolution than the ATtiny85 8-bit timer/counter. So far I have managed to get about 2000 positions on my servo (1µs/step) within a time frame of 21'000 µs. I have also managed to move 5 servos sequential and with different speed, but now I want to move them synchronous.
My biggest problem is that I don't get how I should make it happen! I have looked around on other servo codes including servo8bit library and tried to find a way. It seems that most of the examples uses compare match ISR to move the servos "at the same time", my problem is that I have a 16-bit integer that I want to compare.
Is there a way to do some magic so I can use the 8-bit compare match ISR with my 16-bit integer? Or does anyone of you have some other suggestions on how I can move my servos synchronous without using compare match ISR?
I hope my questions make sense!
Since I don't really have any code to show yet (only flawed attempts without compar match ISR that makes no sense) I post the link to my TinyServo code if it helps.
EDIT 1:
Here is the part of the code I mentioned and didn't post the first time:
void servoMove(void)
{
uint16_t nextPulse = hPulse[0];
timerSetup (); //16-bit setup for counter
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(servo)/sizeof(servo[0]); i++)
{
if ( (oTime > nextPulse) && (channel < sizeof(servo)/sizeof(servo[0])) ) //check if HIGH pulse (pos) is done
{
PORTB &= ~(1 << servo[channel]);
if (i+1 < sizeof(hPulse)/sizeof(hPulse[0]))
{
nextPulse += hPulse[i+1];
}
channel++;
}
else
{
channel = 0;
oTime = 0; //resets 16-bit variable
tot_overflow = 0; //resets tot_overflow variable
TIFR |= (1 << TOV1); // clear counter1 overflow-flag
TCNT1 = 0; //resets Timer/Counter1
}
}
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(servo)/sizeof(servo[0]); i++)
{
if ( (oTime > tPulse - nextPulse) && (channel < sizeof(servo)/sizeof(servo[0])) ) //check if LOW pulse (period) is done
{
PORTB |= (1 << servo[channel]);
nextPulse -= hPulse[i];
channel++;
}
}
}
void servoPosSet(volatile uint16_t pos[], uint8_t size)
{
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
hPulse[i] = pos[i];
}
}
int main(void)
{
TCCR1 |= (1 << CS12); //set Timer/Counter1 prescaler to increment every 1 µs (PCK/8)
for (channel = 0; channel < size); channel++)
{
DDRB |= (1 << servo[channel]); //sets PB0-PB4 as output pins
}
channel = 0;
uint16_t pos[] = {2000, 1500, 1900, 1300, 1700};
uint8_t size = 5;
while(1)
{
servoPosSet(pos);
servoMove();
}
}
EDIT 2:
This is an illustration of how I think the code should work:
...but it does not!
If you have nothing else to do during the pulse, you could use a busy
loop instead of interrupts:
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay_basic.h>
/* Send a pulse of width = 4*count cycles. */
void pulse(uint16_t count, uint8_t channel)
{
uint8_t mask = 1 << channel,
old_port = PORTB,
high = old_port | mask,
low = old_port & ~mask;
PORTB = high;
_delay_loop_2(count);
PORTB = low;
}
This will give you a resolution of 4 clock cycles, or 0.5 µs with a
8 MHz clock.
Sending the pulses to the 5 servos should take at most 10 ms. Since
you repeat the pulse train every 21 ms, this leaves you 11 ms
to compute the next set of positions, which should be plenty. You could
program a timer to wake you up every 21 ms, then your main() may
look like:
int main(void)
{
static uint16_t pos[] = {4000, 3000, 3800, 2600, 3400};
uint8_t i;
/* Wake up every 21 ms. */
setup_timer();
sleep_enable();
for (;;) {
/* Update the servos. */
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) pulse(pos[i], i);
/* Compute the next set of positions. */
...
/* Wait for timer interrupt. */
sleep_cpu();
}
}
